“When my clients leave MORE Than Curly Salon, I want them to feel loved! I do this by listening to my clients. Asking them: “What is your hair goal?” and giving them the education to achieve that goal. I want them to leave excited, comfortable, and ready to wear the beautiful curly hair God has given them! My biggest inspiration is my beautiful husband and best friend who inspires me to be the woman that God has purposed me to be. My mother inspires me also, because she illustrated what hard working, sacrificial love looks like in a mother. I praise the Lord for both of them.

My favorite thing about curls is how there are so many different types of curly hair. I get so excited when a client comes in not liking their curly hair, but loving their curly hair when they leave! They never knew they had such beautiful hair. The words I live by are: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” –Jesus-  My friends, family, and the love for people and hair inspired me to be a hairstylist. Opening MORE Than Curly Salon, was an act of obedience to the Lord. I am also blessed to be the mother of three smart, talented and beautiful children, and also had the opportunity to stay home with them before they all started school. After the kids went to school, I went to school myself at Pickens Tech in Aurora, to get my cosmetology license, and now own an awesome salon. I am also blessed to be married for 15+ years! Thank you Jesus!”
